"[Socialism] advocates public ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources." (2456-2457)
The above statement is what socialism advocates. Again, Sanders does not believe in this. Using your logic, I can add North Korea as a synonym for democracy.
It is not a reasonable assumption as (s)he only had one statement mentioning Sanders.
Marx wrote about the surplus of labor being theft (Marx). If capitalists get rich on theft from the workers, then workers taking back their money is not theft. Socialism is aggressive towards the capitalist individual and their (private) property. You need to point out the exact case of moral inconsistency in socialism.
Chomsky, Wolff, and Howard all talk about the false forms of socialism and the actual type of socialism. These articles present that state control is not socialism. Bernie Sanders advocates state control. He is not a socialist. Again, using your logic, I would consider North Korea democratic just because they said so.
You pride yourself on logic yet your entire comment is full of emotion. I am pointing out the contradiction.
Haha, you are literally the most arrogant person I met. It is funny how you think you are morally and intellectually superior to people. Such a sad human being.
